Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I assist the retirement team doing calcs and performing other tasks in Excel and using in-house specialist software.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given client work to complete from the first week of my internship, and these opportunities only grew throughout the 8 weeks. However, there were always people to ask for support and never too much pressure placed on me, as everything goes through a rigorous checking process.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
